[Verse 1]
Young and strong, the voice of my father said
"Don't give up, don't be forgotten."
This hell on earth
I just wanna run away

They told me dreams don't grow from here
Stay alone
Count your fears
Somewhere down the line I might figure it out

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Singing all my songs to bedroom mirrors
Deep inside my heart, I'm still here

[Chorus]
We're always running away
And we don't even stop to think about it
The world's in our hands
Yeah
They don't need to understand
We do it our own way
No matter what they try to say about it
We've got our own plans
Yeah
They don't need to understand

They don't need to understand

[Verse 2]
What made me tough, almost killed me
At least that's how I remember the story
Over the years, I've forgotten how it was

But I survived, and I won't walk down
The same old road that they all follow
It only leads to a life not meant for me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Singing all my songs to bedroom mirrors
Deep inside my heart, I'm here

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Streets of my hometown seem strange now
They feel like a distant memory
I'm always fighting cause I know you're trying
But you can never take this dream from me

[Chorus]

[Outro]
They don't need to understand [2x]
